'09 GS350 AWD - 76,250 miles.
Bought it used in '10 with 10,034 miles on it. So yeah, I've been running it hard (sometimes, over 1,000 miles per week). Wonderfully reliable car. I buy all genuine Toyota parts for super cheap on irontoad.com, and use the DIY's here to do all required maintenance so far and I've saved THOUSANDS.
I've been using Mobil 1 every 5k miles for oil changes. Now that the car's out of warranty I'd like to extend teh oil change period from 5k to 7.5k or even 10k. I use my car for 95% highway miles and cruise at 75-85, so i'm not exposing the engine to extreme wear. Has anyone had experience using oil change periods greater than the recommended 5k?
